A documentary charting the success of The Levellers, followed by an acoustic performance by the band ,will take place at Royal & Derngate in Northampton next week.

A Curious Life is told through the perspective of Jeremy Cunningham, the band’s bass player, and is directed by former Chumbawamba front man, Dunstan Bruce.

It focuses on The Levellers’ success between 1988 and 1998.

Following the film, the band will take to the stage for an acoustic run through of some of their greatest hits, including Carry Me, One Way, Just The One and Beautiful Day. The Levellers released a greatest hits album in autumn last year via their On The Fiddle Recordings label, with a CD/DVD deluxe edition which includes every Levellers’ single and video released over the last 25 years.
